Yep, all different variations of some kind of judicial system with courts of law and such.

Social norms are why social order is possible sure. But how do you account for the uncooperative minority?


You’ve forgotten the context of the question. Those institutions don’t maintain social order. They are maintained by social order.


With the rarity of such attacks on US soil by Ukraine, even though it could be argued that it was an accident, the right thing to do is apologize unequivocally if it’s real. Do something to make amends somehow, as best as possible.
We can call Putin a hypocrite and he surely is with many orders of magnitude more innocent blood on his hands. But there’s still no excuse for attacking civilian targets on any side, whether it’s one dormitory or basically everything in Gaza. It’s murder, or it is manslaughter. Nothing else.


Such as?
I can’t think of a better institution than rule of law. The problem is all institutions rely on people to uphold them. Particularly, those in the positions of most power. Not just those with the guns.


Sure, but what else is there?


Insider trading is illegal.


Because of course.


Hence the hope!


Here’s hoping the mid-terms aren’t cancelled as trump declares an election can’t happen while the US is at war.


It’s the most infuriating thing. Cowardice in the name of “neutrality”. Spoon raises concerns it may be a spoon.


Tells you everything you need to know when leaders can’t keep a team together.


Depends who “you” are of course.


I mean for “America” but yes. Obviously the weapons companies are having a field day.


This is a bit different. There’s no profit to be had getting high on your own supply.


Hopefully they realize the productivity barely drops, and sometimes even increases for the majority of workers, and it sticks when the war is over.


Kidnapping is an emotionally loaded term which isn’t used in journalism. Makes sense. Edit: nah I’m wrong. They’d use it for the actual crime of kidnapping.
I hate this shit. We need media to call a spoon a spoon.
Call lies, lies. “Misinformation”, “inaccuracies” “incorrectly said…” Nah fuck that. Trump lied.


Of course not, you can’t see very far below the surface.
And risk the liability when the AI bubble bursts? Microsoft trying to charge customers the actual costs of CoPilot are not going well.
AI companies need to pay for their emissions, subsidize power costs in communities affected by data cents, and just generally be made to shoulder the true costs of what they’re doing. When they pass this on to customers usage will plummet.
